It's 'snow joke, take care out there!

Road users are being urged to take extra care on the county’s roads as a band of rain, sleet and snow looks set to hit Cambridgeshire late this afternoon with more expected in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Although weather conditions are now expected to be less severe than originally anticipated, drivers are being warned to take care and allow extra time for journeys, particularly during tomorrow’s rush hour, as a combination of weather conditions look set to cause potentially hazardous driving conditions with widespread ice.

The county’s gritters will be out preparing the roads but drivers have been warned to take extra care when travelling.

Group commander Karl Bowden, from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “We are urging people to allow extra time when travelling, particularly tomorrow morning, and to ensure all ice and any snow is cleared from cars before setting off.”

It is not just the roads that present a risk when temperatures drop. Pathways can be very slippery and health organisations in Cambridgeshire are also advising elderly residents to avoid venturing outside to prevent slips and falls.

Dr Alistair Lipp, medical director for NHS England Midlands and East (East) said: “Some health conditions can be exasperated by a drop in temperature too. As the weather turns, don’t get caught out. Be prepared.

“And if you do start to feel unwell seek help early. Talk to a pharmacist or call NHS111.”
